From Backcountry.com:
"When you leave the ground in the morning and don't go down until the sun does, the Black Diamond Chaos Harness is where it's at. This lightweight trad harness features a bullhorn-shaped waist-belt to give you full freedom of movement and increased comfort when you're tied in all day. BD's used its Kinetic Core Construction on the Chaos, made with a liquid crystal polymer for strength and lightweight foam inserts for comfort. Speed Adjust buckles and integrated leg loop adjusters help you dial in your fit, and molded gear loops rack your pro for a full day on the wall. There's also a 15kN-rated haul loop for your tag line."

From Oregon Mountain Community:
"The Black Diamond Chaos harness has been redesigned using their Kinetic Core Construction to help radically reduce weight and bulk while at the same time increasing comfort and support for the user. Low-profile metal buckles on the rear elastic risers allow for easy on/off and quick adjustment. The bullhorn-shaped waistbelt (with pre-threaded Speed Adjust buckle) and breathable, padded lumbar insert take the strain out of hanging belays or heavy racks while four pressure molded gear loops and a 12 kN-rated haul loop allow easy racking for all your multi-pitching and trad cragging needs.

"This harness is quite comfortable, for a harness that is. I do a lot of single pitch sport climbing and have taken some sick falls with minimal pain.

Would be better if the legs were adjustable."
